| 0:00.0 | Happy cancellation to me. Happy cancellation to me. Happy cancellation to me. Happy cancellation |
| 0:12.3 | Internet mogul glam deem in 2004. Happy cancellation to me. And many more. Welcome back everyone. |
| 0:28.8 | This podcast is called Let Me Run Your Life. Sorry, it's been like a week and a half. This podcast |
| 0:35.6 | is called Let Me Run Your Life. My name is Serena Shahidi and I am the Joan of Arc of TikTok |
| 0:42.8 | officially. It's great to be back. I did take a week off of the podcast and just generally |
| 0:51.1 | off of social media for the most part because I did get canceled. As a queen does, you know, |
| 0:58.6 | hey pretty girl, let's hate on her. You guys know how it is. And I didn't want to post |

| 2:22.2 | attention to me. But here's what happened. Just to break it down for anyone who doesn't |
| 2:28.1 | know or anyone who does know and it's been waiting just on the edge of their seat for me |
